I agree. Wrong type of crowd.

Here's yet another idea... An event to try and woo those w/ the most
influence. Instead of an install fest, maybe something to help explain
to retailers and consultants the benefits of Linux.

Wear your bestbuy/staples/[local consultancy] work shirt and get
entered into a drawing for [something interesting]. Bring your laptop
and netbook and set it up for a dual boot experience.

These people, if convinced, will impact many more people than the LUG
could normally reach with one event.
